Help.....ce5 clearomizer cracked base?

[vap_kitten]

I have an ego ce5 with clearomizer from smoktech. My clearomizer is leaking around the base, and it seems like the "plastic" part of the tank isn't sealed to the metal base, like it is sliding up and shifting and not keeping a seal to the drip tip. It doesn't Look cracked, but i can push the tank into the base and realign the drip tip, now it is leaking from around the base at the battery on the outside.
Has anyone had an issue with this? Is there a temporary fix so I don't have to continuously keep buying new tanks before my atomizer head goes out? I'm the worst when it come to putting my ecig in my back pocket, so I know that's how I'm breaking them......trying to stop that lol

Hi and welcome. "Sometimes" the tube will separate from the base and needs to be "snapped" back together. Some have reported good results using adhesives BUT we don't want any noxious chems in our juice. Here's a recipe for homemade all natural glue:

I am bad about putting them in my pocket too. I have a Vision V3 clearo (I think its very similar to smoketechs ce5) that pops loose from the fitting every once in a while. I can pop it back in and its good to go. I would be careful about gluing it. Possibly the flour glue may work but not sure how well flour glue would stick plastic to metal.. ;-)~

Thanks guys! I will definitely check the homemade glue, curious about it bonding plastic to metal very well too, but hey its worth a shot before trashing it. I'll let ya know how it turns out for me!
